| motobot | Where do I find the configuration on my RPi to make it accessible from a terminal on my PC? | 00:01 |
|---|---|---|
| motobot | Right now I cannot connect | 00:01 |
| motobot | I'm looking at firewall settings at the moment. I think this may do it | 00:11 |
| ubuntu-mate | hi, I can't boot in to any OS including mate which created the boot menu which is now gone after a big gaming overload crash in windows | 00:14 |
| ubuntu-mate | I am on a Live CD and would like to at least find the Mate Installation | 00:14 |
| roberto_ | Good night | 00:31 |
| motobot | not sure if a restart is required to enable the firewall settings | 00:31 |
| motobot | g'nite roberto | 00:31 |
| roberto_ | ;] | 00:32 |
| roberto_ | motobot, do you know customize color clock in Ubuntu Mate? | 00:33 |
| deskwizard | ubuntu-mate: if I understand you corrently you wnat to apt-get boot-repair (or something like that) | 00:35 |
| deskwizard | that should get the system up, but your partitions should still show up when booted on the livecx | 00:35 |
| ubuntu-mate | yes | 00:35 |
| deskwizard | s/livecx/livecd | 00:35 |
| ubuntu-mate | they do | 00:36 |
| deskwizard | sorry mate, I must be missing something here... quite not sober either so not really helping hehehe | 00:37 |
| ubuntu-mate | can I do that from this live CD? | 00:37 |
| deskwizard | ubuntu-mate: depends what THAT is :P help me a bit here :P | 00:37 |
| ubuntu-mate | so that it will re-create the boot menu on power up - apt get boot-repair | 00:38 |
| ubuntu-mate | is what I am talking about | 00:38 |
| ubuntu-mate | is there such a thing? | 00:38 |
| deskwizard | ubuntu-mate: mkay, yeah you can install it on the livecd once its booted, apt-get it like usual | 00:38 |
| deskwizard | when you run it it should find your install and fix the boot meny | 00:39 |
| deskwizard | s/meny/menu | 00:39 |
| ubuntu-mate | thanks | 00:39 |
| roberto_ | do you know customize color clock in Ubuntu Mate? | 00:39 |
| ubuntu-mate | nothing usual about me being in Ubuntu | 00:39 |
| deskwizard | ubuntu-mate: not as far as I'm aware | 00:40 |
| deskwizard | besides being, you know, cool 'cause not windows lol | 00:40 |
| deskwizard | but jokes aside, boot repair should do it for you, worked for me ;) | 00:40 |
| deskwizard | ubuntu-mate: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair | 00:42 |
| ubuntu-mate | Invalid operation boot-repair | 00:44 |
| deskwizard | sudo apt-get install boot-repaor | 00:45 |
| deskwizard | boot-repair* | 00:45 |
| ubuntu-mate | where will it install on a live boot? | 00:46 |
| deskwizard | ubuntu-mate: live file system, it'll be gone if you reboot the live cd, but we dont care since we only need it once :) | 00:46 |
| deskwizard | (unless you made your live media with persistance enabled yaddi-yadda) | 00:47 |
| deskwizard | but the last point remains ;) | 00:47 |
| ubuntu-mate | Unable to locate package boot-repair | 00:48 |
| ubuntu-mate | ubuntu-mate@ubuntu-mate:~$ | 00:48 |
| ubuntu-mate | no I do not know what I am doing | 00:48 |
| deskwizard | more likely my fault, 1 sec | 00:49 |
| deskwizard | ah... | 00:49 |
| ubuntu-mate | I am old, sick and slow and so is my computer | 00:50 |
| deskwizard | go to the link I gave you earlier, the 2nd option will give you the commands you need to run | 00:50 |
| deskwizard | it's not in the ubuntu repository but in another ppa thats why it wouldnt find it | 00:50 |
| deskwizard | ubuntu-mate: makes 2 of us ;) | 00:50 |
| ubuntu-mate | I'm just glad to see something on the screen after days of nada | 00:51 |
| ubuntu-mate | the CD-rom would not even read a live CD before | 00:51 |
| ubuntu-mate | drive I mean | 00:51 |
| deskwizard | wow, thats quite the crash, even for windows hehehe | 00:51 |
| ubuntu-mate | well if they had Black Desert Online in Mate, I wouldn't be in windows | 00:52 |
| ubuntu-mate | anyway thanks for the link I will just slowly read and learn | 00:52 |
| deskwizard | no worries, there's a lot of text for the little you actually have to do hehehe | 00:53 |
| deskwizard | install package, run, click repair, reboot | 00:53 |
| deskwizard | TLDR version | 00:53 |
| deskwizard | hit me up if anything come up, I'll be around for a little while, my glass isn't empty yet :P | 00:54 |
| deskwizard | even more if you get it working, I don't care about the thank yous, just wanna help get stuff up | 00:54 |
| deskwizard | (there's a your mom joke in there) | 00:55 |
| ubuntu-mate | yes I will let you know if it worked and I appreciate the joke | 00:56 |
| deskwizard | cool :) | 00:58 |
| ubuntu-mate | it's running that's a good sign, it's scanning my installation, fingers crossed deskwizard | 01:07 |
| * deskwizard crosses fingers, eyes and toes | 01:07 | |
| ubuntu-mate | lol | 01:08 |
| deskwizard | I had a "touching wood" joke as well but decided to let it slide lol | 01:08 |
| deskwizard | ubuntu-mate: I hope it'll work :) | 01:08 |
| ubuntu-mate | yeah let it slide, goodness knows how long this will take, it actually takes and hour to show up a menu on a windows repair usb and then it doesn't work | 01:10 |
| ubuntu-mate | my computer is so sick, no idea why it takes so long to do anything after a "click" | 01:10 |
| deskwizard | could be a lot of things, from a dusty cpu cooler to a dying power supply, or just being old like mines hehe | 01:11 |
| ubuntu-mate | windows 10 on a computer that did not come with it has a lot to answer for in terms of destruction | 01:13 |
| ubuntu-mate | anyway it's still scanning and I need breakfast | 01:14 |
| ubuntu-mate | so thanks for pointing me to the right place | 01:14 |
| deskwizard | np mate, glad I could be helpful | 01:14 |
| deskwizard | have a nice snack :) | 01:14 |
| ubuntu-mate | thumbs up | 01:15 |
| ubuntu-mate | =omg still scanning | 01:40 |
| ubuntu-mate | foiled again - GPT detected whatever that is - so why it find the bios-grub partition that was there before instead of making yet another partition? | 01:49 |
| ubuntu-mate | I mean, why didn't it find it? | 01:49 |
| ubuntu-mate | sudo apt-get install -y boot-repair && boot-repair | 01:50 |
| deskwizard | ubuntu-mate: uhm, strange | 02:12 |

| Kenzo | hello all | 11:49 |
| Kenzo | does anyone know how to download a public key? i'm trying to authorize the avast repository i just added but the pgp i need to add is just a jumble of alphanumerics on a webpage. not dowloadable. | 11:50 |
| Kenzo | no one? | 11:54 |
| Kenzo | hey guys, i've tried to add a pgp key and got the error "gpg: invalid armour header" any ideas what this might mean? | 12:24 |
| Astro7467 | no instructions/info on the avast site? | 12:25 |
| Astro7467 | see if this helps https://www.ghacks.net/2011/03/31/adding-missing-ppa-keys-to-an-apt-keyring/ | 12:28 |
| Kenzo | none that are helpful unfortunately. thanks i'll check it out | 12:32 |
| Kenzo | i'm not sure where to go from there. i've created the key/pgp file from the appendix that avast pointed to i just don't know what's up with their headers | 12:34 |
| teward | Kenzo: is this for the Avast repository key, or no? | 12:35 |
| Kenzo | teward, yes is it | 12:35 |
| teward | Kenzo: ah, well it's not that hard heh. First: wget http://files.avast.com/files/resellers/linux/avast.gpg | 12:36 |
| teward | second: `sudo apt-key add avast.gpg` | 12:36 |
| teward | (FWIW: https://support.business.avast.com/hc/en-us/articles/210816523-Avast-Installation-for-Ubuntu-Debian- plus personal knowledge is where this came from) | 12:36 |
| teward | note wget is a terminal command ;) | 12:36 |
| teward | and I had to go through this setting up Avast AV on a mail server so... :) | 12:37 |
| teward | (it's still working! :D) | 12:37 |
| Kenzo | ah thanks, see i copied/pasted the key into a text file as the instructions on avast didn't mention wget. the i did the sudo apt-key add to the path of the key i saved | 12:38 |
| Kenzo | should that not work? | 12:38 |
| teward | Kenzo: *sometimes*? But it's really odd when trying to pull from a web page - because your browser can screw things over. | 12:39 |
| teward | Kenzo: just wget the file instead of copy/pasting - it downloads the file instead of displaying it in your web browser without proper formatting. | 12:39 |
| teward | (they should be serving that as text/plain but they don't.) | 12:39 |
| Kenzo | i copied from their appendix on the last page | 12:39 |
| Kenzo | http://deb.avast.com/lin/doc/techdoc.pdf | 12:39 |
| teward | Kenzo: probably better to just pull from the file itself ;) | 12:40 |
| teward | besides, you're copying formatted text from a PDF - guarantee you there's extra control chars in there breaking the data in the armored text data. | 12:41 |
| Kenzo | yeah i think so! thanks teward :) | 12:41 |
| Kenzo | teward, do you know whether this will run well on a desktop? i'm not on a server | 12:42 |
| Kenzo | does anyone know whether it's ok to to run a server antivirus on a desktop/laptop | 13:04 |
| KTrad | What do you mean exactly? | 13:05 |
| KTrad | Like an antivirus designed for a linux server on your desktop, or run an antivirus server while also using it as your desktop | 13:05 |
| Kenzo | the former, antivirus designed for server to run on desktop | 13:06 |
| KTrad | should be fine | 13:07 |
| Kenzo | even without a gui? | 13:08 |
| KTrad | My question is why even run an antivirus on a linux box? It's just a desktop right? And you're not going to be sharing much files to OSX/Windows? | 13:08 |
| Kenzo | more of a safe than sorry situation. and if i move files from another pc via usb i'd like to know any nasties could be picked up. | 13:10 |
| KTrad | fair enough | 13:11 |
| ouroumov | Just so you know, people have reported problems with AVs on Ubuntu MATE. | 13:11 |
| Kenzo | ah really? anything in particular - false positives? | 13:12 |
| KTrad | Do you know which one specifically? And is it a MATE specific issue or Ubuntu as a whole? | 13:12 |
| ouroumov | Well, stuff like that: https://ubuntu-mate.community/t/caja-with-dropbox-antivirus-problem-infinite-starting-caja/7160 | 13:13 |
| * KTrad waits for her powerbook to load | 13:14 | |
| ouroumov | False positive breaking stuff is not an uniquely Linux issue | 13:14 |
| Kenzo | i'm hoping that the issue in that link is down to the specific programme not liking dropbox. which i don't use. i like a gui so this server antivirus might not be the one | 13:16 |
| KTrad | doesn't avast make a linux AV? | 13:17 |
| KTrad | Their windows offering isn't horrible. Might want to look at that | 13:17 |
| KTrad | though I have my servers using ClamAV | 13:18 |
| Kenzo | used to but i think they dropped support for it a while ago and focused on the server edition. | 13:18 |
| Kenzo | i'm going off this article http://www.networkworld.com/article/2989137/linux/av-test-lab-tests-16-linux-antivirus-products-against-windows-and-linux-malware.html | 13:18 |
| Kenzo | maybe sophos is my best bet | 13:18 |
| KTrad | Comodo and Sophos seem to be decently liked | 13:18 |
| Kenzo | comodo seemed not to perform well according to AV-Test which surprised me | 13:20 |
| KTrad | I personally don't use one | 13:20 |
| KTrad | so have not first hand experience | 13:21 |
| KTrad | that reminds me though I need to update my e-mail server | 13:21 |

| akuma | sorry | 15:32 |
| alkisg | np | 15:32 |
| akuma | how do I install things? | 15:32 |
| alkisg | You open software boutique from the menu | 15:32 |
| akuma | keeps giving me the message "failed to install packages" | 15:33 |
| alkisg | Open a terminal. Run this: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade. What's the output? Put it to paste.ubuntu.com. | 15:33 |
| akuma | I ran "sudo apt-get update", but it failed | 15:34 |
| alkisg | We need to see the output to know why it failed | 15:34 |

| Kyros | you just made me realize i could add it to the startup apps | 17:49 |
| Kyros | which works | 17:49 |
| Kenzo | ouroumov, think you may have been right about antiviruses not playing nicely with ubuntu-mate. since installing sophos i've had to force shutdown my system because it just crashed :/ | 20:21 |
| Kenzo | i've had to do that twice! not sure if merely coincidence | 20:22 |
| Kenzo | why is it that software updater doesn't want to update "X.Org X Window System"? it's always unchecked but still there | 20:33 |
| plaindave | I'm unable to turn on flash in Chromium. I d/l'd flash and tried to follow the instructions in readme.txt, but failed. Any help would be appreciated. | 22:10 |
